Re: Kerberos

What is Kerberos?
-----------------
Kerberos is a network authentication service, defined in RFC 1510.
Refer to this RFC for an overview and specification of the Version 5 of the
protocol for the Kerberos network authentication system.

----------
PAM was introduced at HP-UX 10.20. Refer to the "Release Notes for HP-UX
10.20" or "Release Notes for HP-UX 10.30" for more information on PAM.

The HP Praesidium/Security Service (Pr/SS) provides Kerberos V5 security
services for multi-platform environments. Currently, Pr/SS 1.0 is available
as an overlay of DCE Security for HP-UX 10.20. There is a patch ( [PHSS_6617/PACHRDME/English] )
for earlier HP-UX 10.x systems which provides a white paper "Using HP DCE
9000 Security with Kerberos Applications". This patch is not currently
available for HP-UX 10.20 systems. For more information on this patch,
refer to SupportLine document PHSS_6617.

Re: Kerberos

Hi:

Kerberos is a secure login facility. From the man pages for HP-UX 11i (section-9):

"The Kerberos system authenticates individual users in a network environment. After authenticating yourself to Kerberos, you can use network utilities such as rlogin, rcp, and rsh without having to present passwords to the remote hosts and without having to edit and use .rhosts files. Note that these utilities will work without passwords only if the remote machines you deal with support the Kerberos system."
